We're heading back to Tennessee!
Smoky Mountain Resort
2525 Goldrush Road, Pigeon Forge TN
Check-in: Thursday, August 15
Check-out: Monday, August 19
(4 nights)
Check-in time on Thursday is 4:00 pm. Check-out time on Monday is 10:00 am.
We are renting Oak Tree Lodge (#3), the same large house we rented last time, now 16 bedrooms. We have grown in numbers since 2013 and needed a 2nd unit larger than last time, so we are renting the 10-bedroom Magnolia Place (#5) which is just up the hill from Oak Tree Lodge.
Every bedroom has its own private bathroom. There are washers & dryers in both houses. WiFi is available in all houses in the resort. The resort still has a pool and the area on the
other side of the resort entrance road with the pavilion, fire pit, volleyball, etc., and also has a number of
improvements - baseball field, exercise room, etc.
Oak Tree Lodge has been remodeled to some extent, and most of the bedrooms have just one king bed to allow for
more open floor space in the rooms (in 2013 most bedrooms had an additional bed or a set of bunks).
They have rollaway beds stored upstairs in the house if we need them and they will place them as we direct before our arrival, but the rollaways can only be used in the top floor rooms (too heavy to move elsewhere, and only the property management staff are permitted to move them).
There is one less bedroom than in 2013 because the largest downstairs room is now a
theatre room. The upstairs room with all the bunk beds and 2 full bathrooms is still there, but has fewer sets of
bunks (has 4 now, though plenty of room for rollaways). Upgrades include more comfortable living room furniture, better lighting in that long sunroom with the
tables & benches next to the kitchen, flat screen TVs, etc.
Magnolia Place is similar to Oak Tree in design and amenities. It is a pair of duplexes and totals 10 bedrooms. It has
adjoining doors on both floors, so we will be given the keys to these so that we can use it as a single
house. Two of the bedrooms contain several sets of bunk beds. UPDATE May 2019: They now rent this as one 10 bedroom house.

This floor plan has changed somewhat since we reserved this last summer.
